About CHVRCHES

Most solo artists or bands take their measure of success based on digital downloads, a climb up the charts or social media followers. For members of the band CHVRCHES, they knew they made it once they became the subject of a BuzzFeed photo gallery titled, "26 Things You Should Know About Chvrches, Your New Favorite Electro-Pop Band."

Yes, Chvrches is pronounced "churches" or stylized as CHVRCHΞS. Yes, their lead singer previously pursued a career in writing, has a master's degree in journalism and once won a prestigious award for an article she write about the hygiene of body piercing. And yes, their single "The Mother We Share" will get stuck in your head on an endless loop. As BuzzFeed says … just a warning.

In short, Chvrches came together after all three of its members – Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty – cut ties to other bands, groups or projects. Once they came together and debuted their first demo, "Lies," on the Neon Gold blog in the spring of 2012 there was no looking back. A few months later "The Mother We Share" was the official catalyst to the career of Chvrches exploding.

Chvrches came in fifth on the BBC's Sound of 2013 list of the most promising new talent in music. In March 2013 they released "Recover EP," and six months later rolled out their debut studio album "The Bones of What You Believe."
